The guys story was chosen because it is unique in that he went to so many hospitals. The other variables about him are somewhat random.


He didn’t go to that many hospitals. He went to one and was transferred to another. The family claimed the one hospital looked for a bed for him in 43 other hospitals and was unable to find one. However, the one hospital has not confirmed this. They only confirmed that he was a patient and they were not equipped to care for him and he was transferred elsewhere.

Not saying this is the case here…but I have found that occasionally there is a level embellishment or misunderstanding among the family of folks who lost a loved one regarding the care their loved one received out of frustration and grief over the loss.

So personally I tend to read these kind stories with a grain of salt. Covid or no Covid, sometimes people die, no mater the quality of care they received.
